"size" key can't be dot-accessed properly about figgy HOT 5 CLOSED

Looks like it's due to how it inherits from a Hash and only looks for missing methods. So any methods on Hash can't be used as keys. Could this be fixed or is it an inherent limitation due to the flexibility in accessing keys?

It's something I've been aware of, but never actually ran into in practice,
so I left it alone. And as you mention, you can always fall back to [] if
you have to.

If I switched to BasicObject and a private hash to do lookups, this could
be avoided. I do occasionally (ab?)use the enumerable properties exposed.
If I keep that, there's inevitably a set of keys that are simply
unavailable -- eg, product.price.each.

I'll hack at this in the next day or three.

Yeah I've been using config[:size] which is a fine workaround, but the new inconsistency in my code is enough to drive me to help think of a solution.

Welp, I don't really see a way around it except for a lot more monkey-patching which doesn't seem like a great idea. Maybe the only thing to do is put something in the README as a warning.

Yeah, added some caveats in the README and I'll just leave it at that. I have a lot of real-life-in-use-today code that likes the enumerability of figgy hashes.
